Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Ready or not, sell it!
This is without a doubt, the most poorly conceived, ridiculously designed, sloppily manufactured product of it's kind on the market.Everything about it is just plain wrong!First the media server software does not run as a windows service, so you have to go to your media center PC and log into an account, then since it wasn't running as a service, it delays the loading of your account every time you log in as it synchronizes.It only allows five directories and will not search subdirectories ...

Rating:  - Not bad!
Bought this with the idea of showing pictures stored on the computer on the TV -- and listing to music on the computer thru my sound system.
Very straight forward hookup -- took longer to get the cables and unit out of the box than it did to have it up and going.HP made this very simple!And it does exactly what I had wanted --
(Of course now I wish I had gotten the wireless unit.Oh well...)
Rating: - Poor User Interface Design
This is a great idea.Unfortunately, the HP people forgot to give any thought to how people might actually use this thing and ended designing something that has all the problems of computers (crashes and poor interface) with the worst parts of traditional receivers (inflexibility and inability to customize).The biggest problem I have with this is that it is very slow to respond to button presses.This is especially evident when trying to get it to shuffle or repeat playlists.You push the button, ...

Rating: - Good idea, flawed execution.So disappointed...
I really, really wanted this to work.I had previously purchased the SonicRio Digital Media Receiver ... but as the reviewers point out, this is no longer a supported product, and when my device crapped out on me, I was stuck.
So I had been eagerly awaiting this product, hoping that a more reliable, trust-worthy vendor would do a better job with a networked MP3 receiver.Sadly, this was not the case.
This is very similar in design to the SonicBlue (with the exception of photo viewing ... Read More
Rating: - Hard to use.Try SLIMP3.
I bought and tried out one of these devices to access the sizable MP3 collection on my computer.Alas, it's really hard to set up and slow to use.
I much prefer my SLIMP3 from Slim Devices.It's a little more money, but it is tiny, has a bright and beautiful display, incredibly powerful music management software (free and open source!) and is so easy to set up and use.My wife loves it and would touch the HP product.You can build custom playlists from the remote or any web browser and the support ...
